QUOTE (tr1p1ea @ May 15 2006, 01:18 PM)

Some people need to learn that taking an existing image and reducing the amount of colours it has is NOT pixel-art.

The broadsword deserves to win in this case!

Hey hey, they aren't pictures and reduced the # of colors.

The aug one I had an actual picture of an aug on my screen in a window above where I was drawing, hence the good (in my opinion) accuracy. I didn't just take a picture of one and switch it to b&w.

The flame sword one is actually really simple if you look at it. I just scribbled some flames down and then made a really lame looking sword. Then I messed around with all sorts of effect things to make it look niftier. That one started out as all grey as well, but I decided to red-ify it. I blurred it, redrew the sword, changed stuff like intensity and hue and anything else I could find. I was just playing around with different pieces of software for about 45 minutes. Both are hand drawn and completely new as of the day I got bored and decided to make them.

Well, what i meant was that pixel-art is traditionlly done with a 1 pixel brush and a canvas. Not utilising of other tools or filters etc.

Im not pointing fingers or anything as i know that people arent blatantly cheating or anything. Im just saying that its usually funner if things are done the traditional way.

All in all, a great job and another pixel-art contest end!

I like the sould reaver, it makes the best use of contrast with four level grayscale.

Uh, the soul reaver is five-lvl-gs

just double the size, methinks pixel art can be viewed best on a screen at 2x

I made both the beam sword and revolver, and must say that I drew both in paint pixel by pixel (if you compare them, you may notice some similarities as the sword was the basis for the revolver and the carbine that sadly got corrupted) and will leave open to any one who wants to anounce what they made to do so, as people alread kinda have.

I really liked the revolver and broad sword, all the contest entries were great though! I am happy so many entered the contest.

@necro I really like the shines on the revolver, they ownz0r my aug shinys.

Looks like broadsword wins with a stellar 7 votes!!

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #28 on:** May 17, 2006, 01:58:00 am »

well the contest was pretty short and wasnt even announced on other forums at all. Maxcoderz and UTI members prbly never knew this contest even existed

Spellshaper · « **Reply #29 on:** May 17, 2006, 06:33:00 am »

I did the broadsword

and the reaver...

I thought that the reaver would get more and the broadsword less votes, though, but people seem to think otherwise
